Re: Ok, I'm back, but.... (PhillyGirl)
If you buy a used car stay away from the 2.0 motor, its sooooooooo slow

Ok, I'm back, but....
I have some decisions to make here...
First of all, after wars with my insurance company, I have found out that I cannot get the new 02 that I wanted, so I am buying used. These are my choices....
99.5 Jetta GLS...Silver Arrow...black interior...indash CD player...30K miles....5spd, lux pkg, Monsoon
2000 Jetta GLS...Dk Blue (was it called Galactic in 2000?)...light grey interior...same everything else as the one above, but with 27K miles on it and no Monsoon.
I am leaning towards the silver, any thoughts?
PS...I HATE buying this car used, but in 8 months, I can trade it in for new. Oh yeah, I hate insurance companies, too.

Get a used 1.8T... insurance premiums are usually not that bad with this car.... at least not State Farm (which is what I have)...
You'll be happy you did!!

Re: Ok, I'm back, but.... (1.8Trippin)
Can't get the 1.8T, or I would....
The 2.0 engine is all I can get into, because my payments have to stay the same as they were with my old car. But the 5spd on the 2.0 is better than the automatic, and as far as speed, well, I live in Center City, Philadelphia...not too many places for me to go let loose around here

I agree that the Monsoon is better, which is one of the reasons I am leaning towards the Silver, also. I also love the silver, which was what I was planning on getting in an 02 before the accident in the 99.5

This car is staying in the payment...I have no idea, but the insurance company has okayed it. Believe me...I'm still in shock. THis car rules. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[HR][/HR]
